As far as I know it should just plain build without modification, certainly
people have been using it on CE.

Cutting the dll size down (or rather splitting it into separate mini-dll's)
is on the todo list. Until then just static link to the lib, for narrow
character regexes that results in about a 50K overhead with VC.NET, I don't
know what it is for wide character regexes, probably a bit larger, but
shouldn't be by much.
